Friend in need (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ally

'friend in need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ally that I've seen before include "Someone with whom one is in league" , "often helpful when cluing adverbs" , "Join forces with" , "Friendly nation" , "couple?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Guardian.
